The 1952 Nobel physics laureate Felix Bloch (1905-83) was one of
the titans of twentieth-century physics. He laid the fundamentals
for the theory of solids and has been called the "father of
solid-state physics." His numerous, valuable contributions include
the theory of magnetism, measurement of the magnetic moment of the
neutron, nuclear magnetic resonance, and the infrared problem in
quantum electrodynamics.Statistical mechanics is a crucial subject
which explores the understanding of the physical behaviour of
many-body systems that create the world around us. Bloch's
first-year graduate course at Stanford University was the highlight
for several generations of students. Upon his retirement, he worked
on a book based on the course. Unfortunately, at the time of his
death, the writing was incomplete.This book has been prepared by
Professor John Dirk Walecka from Bloch's unfinished masterpiece. It
also includes three sets of Bloch's handwritten lecture notes
(dating from 1949, 1969 and 1976), and details of lecture notes
taken in 1976 by Brian Serot, who gave an invaluable opinion of the
course from a student's perspective. All of Bloch's problem sets,
some dating back to 1933, have been included.The book is accessible
to anyone in the physical sciences at the advanced undergraduate
level or the first-year graduate level.
